Are You Suffering from “Sitting on Your Ass Syndrome” and Weekend Race Re-Cap
I was. I get it every time I travel. I sit in the car or the plane for a long time, and once I arrive where I am going; I continue to sit on my ass. So today, I was so darn tired, I had(have) so much work to get done, and I had sitting on my ass syndrome. I knew after 10 hour drive, going through house, 6 hour Bike Race, Cleaning Garage Refrigerator, 10 hour Drive, Hubby to Airport by 630 AM, monkey to school, 2nd monkey to Ortho appointment by 8 AM

What do you put in your bottles? While training:
I Was Like; “Wow that Girl Looks Oddly Familiar”
But no way, would Shonny Vanlandingham be swimming at my Master's Group. That would just be freakishly weird that I would be swimming next to a World Champion. As we know, all things are possible. And I did say something like, " You look oddly familiar to me, what's your name?" "Shonny" "I thought that was you
In The Winter My Favorite Thing to do is Log Base Miles on the Mountain Bike
My favorite part of winter, anywhere I have lived: MN, TX, NM, has been to log a lot of base miles on the Mountain Bike. I like to combine Road and Mountain all on Fat Tire. It's safer to be on your Mountain Bike in less than perfect conditions on the Road, including road debris from snow and ice removal. You get great base miles and can work all of your Energy Systems with ease. The best part of being on your Mountain Bike, you can find dirt; either by riding to the
Random Thoughts
Yesterday, MLK day, was the first day I had eaten all 3 meals since last week. I decided to take my Coach's advice, and take one more day. She's always saying; "when you feel 100%, take one more day!" I think, that's great advice. Even though I was totally jones'n for a workout today.

Apparently I am still Living with Petri Dishes

As the kids get older they certainly are not as sick as often, but it's here. I am having my ass kicked by what my oldest monkey had earlier this week. Yesterday my fever topped out a 102.5. I ate a bag of potato chips, drank 1.5 gallons of water, juice etc. Today down to 100.something. Who knows now, I just had to walk the dogs, and I am eating,
Fever
High Fever. I do wish the girls would plan their illnesses a little better. That was a joke, just in case you didn't notice.
Dear God, I have the Cough, but Not the Fever
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, My oldest monkey has been home sick with cough and fever. We're talking 103.5 on more than one occasion. Hence, there must be a "Big" Race I am getting ready for. HAHA As a coach and an athlete, I know that every 3 to 5 years you need to have an easy year. But two, seriously. I guess, running 50 miles last summer doesn't make it an easy year, but Geez, everything afterwards has been a complete failure. Keep on Keeping On. My Goal for El Paso Puzzler, I'm not signed up: 15 miles, 35 miles or 50 miles.
